GOOD HOUSEKEEPING.
A Claim That the Country Has Never Ha
so Much of 1t as Now.

A Claim That the Country Has Never Had
SO Much of It as Now.
The women of the land are DIFF
Terminating into two classes in respect
to housekeeping. The young ones do
not all take to domestic duties, for
they find them irksome. A girl who
has been fed and reared on excitement
and who has passed through a some
what rapid adolescence, is not in
clined to sympathize with routine of
duty within the walls of home. Do
mestic cares weary her, and in her
hands housekeeping is composed of
makeshifts that neither dignity herself
nor ennoble the work.
But taking all women into account,
the quality of housekeeping is fast i'm
proving, for there is large and
growing class of women who have the
intelligence, the health, the sense and
pleasure of duty and the home attach
ments that make prime housekeepers
Of them. One has to go back to the
housekeeping of no more than twenty
five years ago among. the masses of
the people to see how great is the con-
trast OF the present. If you do not
enter homes enough to find this out,
you will see evidences of it in the
cooking at least shown at country
fairs, at church festivals and atyarious
gatherings where the housewives make
their contributions of food; you will
see it in the newspapers and various
periodical publications by the endless
inquiries about this and that, about
cooking and furnishing, about how to
do one thing and another.
Good housekeeping is not decaying.
The country never had so much of it
as now, and this makes the failures,
when we look at them alone, seem all
the more deplorable. There is every
opportunity ssow for women to learn
how to keep rouse well and there is
every hope to the willing and am
bilious. Good Housekeeping.

Artificial Grape Sugar.

At last the chemists have succeeded in
artifcially producing glucose, commonly
called grape sugar The feat is reported to
have been performed by Drs Fischer and
Tafel at the University of Wurzburg, and
the result of compromising the organic ele-
ments in the laboratory is Identical with that
evolved by the process of plant life, with
one exception. The artificial sugar is in
capable of rotating beam of polarized
light, while the natural grape sugar turns it
to the right (whence the name "dextrine," ,
and fruit sugar turns it to the left lis sng-
gested as possible that in the artificial prep
aration there is just as much tendency for
one kind to be formed as the other, the re-
suit being that both dextrine and l@vulose
are formed simultaneously and neutralize
each other, producing an inactive mixture.
1t is not stated whether the new process is a
cheap one. Probably it would need to be
exceedingly cheap in order to command an
extensive market for the product tits well
known that the sugar produced from corn
can be sold at very low price, but it does
not meet with great favor, as the stockhold-
ers in a Chicago factory can testify. Chicago

Ladies' Hats and Bonnets.

Fashionable Models in All Styles OF
Ladies' Hats and Bonnets.
The variety in hats and bonnets this
season has never been exceeded. They
run through wondrous grades of di-
minutive, medium, large, immense
and grotesque sizes, and individual
taste has unlimited scope, for there is
much to chose from in the way of STYLE
shape and adornment. The very pop
ular ''Peek-a-boo' bonnets grade from
tiny coquettish shape, having little
penthouse brim, to an exaggerated
style like the old-fashioned cageche
bonnet. suggestive of the grotesque
head-dress worn by Buttercup of Pima
fore fame. This large model is this
season trimmed from the back of the
hat, and there is frequently no gar
niture ON the front except the wide
band that surrounds the crown. There
are also innumerable styles in the
Gypsy, cottage, princess and other
French bonnets, which are invariably
chosen by women of elegant tastes.
In round hats are the Bismarck, the
Smuggler, tn e Vivandiere, the Leon
ardo da Vinci-otherwise called the
Gainsborough, the Boulanger, the
Princess of Wales and the large, ele-
giant Jacques Collet shape. The crown
of this hat is completely covered with
full ostrich plumes, and it is usually
made of black or golden-brown velvet.
Among the trimmed hats exhibited, is
one in this style made of shot or
cauchemar (black with terra Gotta re-
dets) velvet, trimmed with gold lace
and glittering jewelled pins, another
with. canaque or Caledonian plush
adorned with sea-birds. Another alto
gether different style, with a crushed
in crown and an upturned brim, is
made of black velvet corded with scar
let. Around the crown is set wreath
of crimson velvet unmounted roses. A
second hat of this shape is trimmed
with garnet scarabs, mounted in gold,
nesting in tcrsades of open-work silk
etamine in broche patterns. High En-
glish felt hats, with brims rolling close
to the crown, called the Torquay and
the Brighton, are severely plain in
the matter of garniture, there being
but two gray quill-feathers thrust
through a stiff-repped ribbon bow at
the left side. These hats are worn
with tailor suits, and the cloth caps in
jockey style are worn en- suite with
long coats closely fitted, made OF plain,
checked or striped tweed, and trimmed
with black fox or beaver. The caps
are not decorated in any way. Glossy

And since He bade the world be still,
And hushed for thee each pleasant sound,
That swells the earth and sky around,
Humbly believe His will is best
And still content in silence rest.
No storm can break the willow bent,
And grace to humble souls is sent.

Money Thrown Away.

When we come down to figures, which
is the most practical way to get at the
evil effect of liquor drinking, and see
what a man may spend in few years
by taking but one glass of beer day,
we find the following results, which
we quote as an illustration: "a young
man commences at the age of 20
years to drink. and from 20 to % he
drinks but one glass of beer a day,
worth cents a glass; at % he will
have spent $54.75; from % to % two
glasses day, he will have spent $73;
from % to 80 three glasses Il day,
$273.75; from 80 to 50 four glasses q
day, 1865; from 30 TO 40 five glasses a
day, $556.25. By this time he will
have spent in all the sum of 81, 322.75.
Now, if another young man COM
mences at 20, and, instead of spending
the sum named each year for beer, puts
it out at business interest, without any
saving but this beer-money he would
be worth at the age of 40 years
81, $50, having saved his money, his
character, his health, and perhaps his
soul. There are very few who can
limit themselves to one glass q day.
When one goes into liquor store and
meets a friend the first request is:
Have drink" and the friend gener-
ally accepts, even if he is only after
satisfying his thirst. But it is token
of friendship to accept, and then be as
good as the other fellow is by insisting
that he be allowed to return the COM
pliment. 1t is doubtful friendship at
the hest. Bar-room friendships never
pay-no matter in what light you con-
slider them. Irish World.
